King County Iris Society We are a group of enthusiastic gardeners dedicated to enlightening fellow gardeners about the many different types of iris available for any landscape.

Encompassing the Greater Seattle/Metro area, the King County Iris Society is a group of active gardeners growing many kinds of irises. We are affiliated with the American Iris Society, meet monthly (except in the summer), and have great flower shows and plant sales. If you like to grow irises and want to learn more about them and meet other iris fans, we invite you to join us. For more information, feel free to contact us using our on-line contact form, visit our website (www.kcis.org) or join us at one of our meetings. Watch for posts of wonderful iris flowers, as well as Show, Sale and Tour events!

Our March 2nd meeting will feature Tammy Clark from the Novelty Iris Society (https://noveltyiris.org/) sharing "The Magic of Novelty Iris". She is a fun and energetic speaker. Tammie Clark is an avid flower enthusiast and iris collector. She has been growing iris since 2006. Her mother-in-law gifted her a bunch of iris for their new home after moving back to Utah when her husband got out of the Navy. She is the Northwest Area Director for the Novelty Iris Society and enjoys her volunteer work for them. Her passion for novelty iris started when her mother-in-law took her to visit the former Zebra Gardens and she witnessed a field of Brad and Kathie Kasperek's beautiful broken color iris! Tammie 's mother-in-law passed away in 2021 and she decided to do a special trip to different commercial iris gardens around the United States to purchase iris to plant in her honor. With those visits and connections made, her collection has grown not only in iris but the amazing people who are part of the iris loving community! She loves photography and has created two accounts dedicated to iris on Instagram and serves as one of the admins for the Facebook Novelty Iris Society page. When the irises are not blooming, Tammie enjoys teaching fitness classes, baking, canning, traveling and spending time with her family.

If you are interested in attending March 2nd at 7 pm in person or via Zoom, please email [email protected].
